    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Metrolinx can't seem to get their frequency story right. https://blog.metrolinx.com/2022/03/10/making-moves-for-go-expansion-on-the-stouffville-line/ "Metrolinx will be able to offer two-way, all-day service on the Stouffville Line every 10 minutes or better up to Unionville GO" further down...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Thanks for this! Kind of funny that the King Streetcar Priority Corridor is shown as red. Are they planning on giving it even more priority? Also noteworthy is the number of red that covers existing transit projects. - Ontario Line on Queen, Pape, and Don Mills - SSE on McCowan - EELRT...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    One factor is how many trains GO is willing to run on Stouffville without the planned grade separations which haven't even started construction yet. They might be dragging their feet on double tracking and 2nd platforms if they won't run more than 2 trains per direction per hour. They could...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    It's been reported here and I tend to agree that EllisDon is stretched super thin and so the crews working the Stouffville stations are chronically understaffed and so things are definitely crawling along. Agincourt was advertised to be finished by the end of 2021. If by finished they meant only...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Ok that was pretty funny 😂

    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    People visiting the city are going to think it's 'T' for Toronto

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Those can't travel at 30km/h and are mobility aid devices. They are not required to follow vehicle laws like bikes are. Or was that sarcasm?

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    The City and Province still see bikes as "vehicles" so they design things so that bikes are on the road, not beside the sidewalk and pedestrians where they belong.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Maybe we can sell them to Detroit for use in the Detroit People Mover 😂

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Thanks for this! If you ride the Stouffville train between Unionville and Milliken you get to see the active double track section in action as it is used for the NB and SB trains to pass each other for the bidirectional hourly daytime service. In the blue section trains bounce back and forth...

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    The line that loops back on itself for Markham looks to be a substantially larger percentage of the total lines leaving Markham than Richmond Hill's.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    Really shows you which cities/suburbs are bedroom communities and which ones actually have a decent amount of employment. The difference between Markham and Richmond Hill is pretty striking, especially since they're next to each other.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I've been forced to drive into the city a few times recently due to the lack of any weekend service on the Stouffville Line. It feels like it was restored a lot quicker after the last time lockdown restrictions were eased.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    Thanks for sharing. Hadn't seen this before. Does it include all modes of transportation?

    VIA Rail

    I'm not sure why we needed to wait 3/4 of a year to get to this stage. Why couldn't they have just done this last summer after the HFR plan announcement?

    Isn't that what Triplinx was for?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Kinda funny that they're still doing OL "consultations" and yet already demolishing stuff.

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    It didn't sound like the bells were ringing on the passing train, and non of its headlights were on. Do they not sound bells when they go straight through? Feels like the headlights should be on. That whole situation looked super dangerous with a slowing train acting as a distraction for a very...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    I think that trackage belongs to Ports Toronto.

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    Looks like directly east of Danforth Station could work in terms of access and space. Doesn't look like there are any realistic options before that. I'm guessing that option would rate lower in a ML analysis compared to the Don Branch or Bala because the deadheading trains would need to content...
